The “Silk Road” International University of Tourism has many talented and enterprising students, and one of the brave students is Amir Mardonov, a 3rd-year student of the direction of “Event Management”.

We all know that in recent months, due to the coronavirus pandemic around the world, quarantine measures have also been strengthened in our country. But despite the various risks, Amir took an active part in the fight against the disease, working as a volunteer in the Samarkand regional distribution center.

It should be noted that Amir Mardonov participates in many International conferences and forums as part of his volunteer work. In particular, he participated as a volunteer in the “II Millennium Festival” (Tashkent, 2019) and the “Sharq Taronalari” music festival in 2019 year. In addition, thanks to his knowledge and efforts, he achieved high results in the competition among students of the “Silk Road” University and completed a two-week internship in Indonesia on a grant basis.

“Seeing the generosity and support shown to the people by our esteemed President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, I am proud to be the son of the great Uzbek nation. Therefore, I decided to make a small, but very significant contribution to the fight against coronavirus in our city. I am very glad that I was a volunteer in the Samarkand regional distribution center, because for me it was a great experience in volunteering”, - says Amir Mardonov.

The dual system of training is a type of training in which the student receives theoretical knowledge in an educational institution, and practical skills – at the workplace. The main idea of dual training is to achieve the quality of professional training of students that meets the requirements of the labor market by combining the efforts and resources of educational institutions and employers as a driving force for practice-oriented training.

For a more detailed introduction to the innovative system of training at the “Silk Road” International University of Tourism, a training seminar was held, organized by the director of the Training and Production Center (TPC) Mukhamednazarova I.V.

According to the director of the TPC, it is planned to introduce a phased dual training, including:
- Signing of the contract between the educational institution and enterprises;
- Identification of personnel needs;
- Organization of personnel referral for training;
- Creation of training programs and their updating according to the demand in the labor market;
- Assessment of the qualifications of personnel who have passed dual training.

The concept of dual education and its advantages for both students and employers were also presented.

The concept of the dual system of vocational education is based on the strengthening of practical orientation in the training of specialists through the synthesis of educational and industrial processes, which significantly increases the possibility of professional mobility of graduates of educational institutions. The dual system is an effective and flexible mechanism that allows educational institutions to train highly qualified specialists who are in demand in modern conditions of the market economy by enterprises of various fields of activity. No education is able to provide such knowledge of production from the inside as dual training, which makes it an important step on the way to a successful career.

Opening a restaurant, as you know, is a responsible and time-consuming step. It is important for university students, first of all, studying in the direction of “Management of the restaurant business”, to get the basic concepts in this process. Undoubtedly, they dream of their own restaurant business. But not everyone decides to take concrete steps to achieve this goal. Opening a restaurant requires a lot of time and effort, especially significant financial costs. In order to minimize these costs, you will have to learn a lot about this type of business.

So, on January 18, 2021, at the “Silk Road” International University of Tourism, a master class was held from the leading specialist of the restaurant business and manager of the “Sophia” restaurant – Adamanov Kemal Rustemovich on the topic “Opening a restaurant from scratch and working on mistakes”. The organizer was the Training and Production Center of the University.

According to the expert, even despite the unstable post-pandemic situation, the Uzbek tourist catering market has a high rate of development and is one of the most promising for business. So, the average payback period in the restaurant business segment is considered to be 1-3 years, which is an excellent indicator.

At the end of the master class, students were asked questions, to which they received detailed answers and comments from the expert.

The university administration thanks Adamanov Kemal Rustemovich for the master class and hopes for further cooperation.
